Mozilla, the maker of Firefox browser,
on Saturday issued a statement in support of gay marriage.

“Mozilla's mission is to make the Web
more open so that humanity is stronger, more inclusive and more
just,” the
company said in a post. “This is why Mozilla supports equality
for all, including marriage equality for LGBT couples. No matter who
you are or who you love, everyone deserves the same rights and to be
treated equally.”

The statement was issued 5 days after
Mozilla co-founder and Javascript creator Brendan Eich was named
Mozilla CEO.

Eich's ascent prompted a backlash over
his $1,000 donation to the campaign to approve Proposition 8,
California's 2008 voter-approved constitutional amendment restricting
marriage to heterosexual couples, which the courts have since struck
down.
